I AM a dreamer and a great friend

I hear people say i can’t reach my
goals

I AM…

happier

I worry about losing friends
I cry if I cry if someone I know
fails in their goal

I understand that I can't please
everyone.
I say I have the best friendships
I dream of being successful with
my friends
I try my best to please everyone.
I hope my friends are by my side
during my life

I AM a dreamer and a great friend

While the sunset made me cold

My three Haikus

Amazon rainforest,
Samba beats, vibrant culture,
Brazil's beauty thrives.
Kicks, passes, and goals,
Sweat and joy on the pitch flow,
Soccer's magic grows.

Eyes close, mind at peace,

Dreams weave stories in the night,
Sleep restores and frees.
 Assignment 5

Brazilian Soccer: Louder Than Life

Louder than the roar of the Amazon jungle
Louder than the beating of samba drums
Louder than a stadium full of passionate fans
or a samba school parading through the streets

Louder than the cheers of a victorious team

or the groans of a defeated opponent
Louder than the chants of a passionate crowd
or the silence before a crucial penalty kick

Louder than the whistle of a referee's call

or the sound of a ball hitting the net
Louder than the roar of a celebratory crowd
that's how loud Brazilian soccer can get!
Thanks for your attention!

The End.
